Courage Quote by Jennae Cecelia
““Villain Who told you to be quiet? Who told you the best place to be was off in the corner of the room as far from human interaction as possible? Who made you feel like your words didn’t matter? Who laughed at the thoughts that you shared after building up the courage to speak? I’m telling you to not be quiet. Be loud and be known. Talk to the people who seem louder than you. Share the thoughts dancing in your brain with confidence and ease. Whoever told you that you didn’t matter and neither did your opinion. I’m encouraging you to be the hero taking over that villain.””
